Validator Responses
When you navigate to a site that's using Commerce Cloud Einstein features, Validator instantly validates recommendation activities and sorting rules. The tool then provides particular responses, based on the activity it registers.
We recommend that you test your storefront with the Recommendation Validator to ensure expected operation. When Validator recognizes an event, an icon appears with the number of events it detected.
This table shows different events and when they typically occur.
| Event | When the event is expected to occur |
